After installing ITNCM, you will find a Work Server GR called "WorkDistribution" in the top level realm (typically "ITNCM"):

First go to the Systems Manager / Servers tree node in the ITNCM GUI and look at the list of servers:

In the Server Id column you will see entries of the form "Name:TYPE" where Name is the ITNCM-friendly name of the server (set at installation time) and TYPE is one of GUI SERVER or WORKER.

All Names that are prefixed by ":WORKER" are capable of executing UOWs, and it is these Names that you can now populate the Work Server GR with, e.g.

Please note the following additional points:

The entry in the Work Server should be the Server Id but NOT INCLUDING the colon (:) nor the prefix (GUI SERVER or WORKER)

For a single-node ITNCM deployment there will be two records in the Systems Manager / Servers tree node, a Name with a :GUI SERVER prefix and the same Name with the :WORKER prefix. This Name should be used in the Work Server GR.

For a multi-server ITNCM deployment, it is normal to have one or two dedicated Presentation Servers and multiple dedicated Worker Servers. For such a deployment there will be many records under the Systems Manager / Servers tree node. The Names that have ONLY a :WORKER prefix and NOT a :GUI SERVER are added to the Work Server GR

When creating the Work Server in the Work Server GR, if the Work Server is to execute UOWs you need to be extra-careful to ensure that Exclude=False and Ignore=False. If any of those values are True that Worker will not execute UOWs.
